White Cheek Moray Eel (Echidna Rhodochilus)
White Cheek Moray Eel (Echidna Rhodochilus)
The White Cheek Moray Eel is a hardy and unique aquatic species native to the brackish waters of the Philippines. While it can tolerate freshwater conditions, it thrives best in a low-salt, brackish aquarium setup.
Reaching an adult size of approximately 33 cm, this moray eel makes a peaceful tankmate for fish too large to fit in its mouth. It readily accepts frozen foods as well as live feeders like ghost shrimp.
